It depends on the solution. WordPress shills are quick to admit they use it for every site regardles.
But if you want a better content-based alternative, Processwire is orders of magnitude better than WordPress.

Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.

Hi Arastoo, there are still plenty of new developers out there (and more every day) who may just need to familiarize themselves with the big names in the CMS industry. If you're looking for info on other solutions, I encourage you to run a quick search on Developer Drive with CMS as the keyword. On the first page you'll find posts about Backdrop, CraftCMS, Grav CMS, and more.

Hi Texx, thank you for sharing your experience!
While what you are saying is true, I feel that it's more of a requirement and cost thing. By this I don't just mean "but that's what my client wants and they are only willing to pay in peanuts and want it done in two days" scenarios. I know of a few web development agencies in my circle who have shifted to theme frameworks for their portfolio. Their portfolios consist of a few pages so the slow down doesn't effect them that much and they can manage to revamp their whole site with just one of their guys working on it in under a week so it saves them effort (and thus money too).

I like theme frameworks. But one of the very real cons of every theme framework is lower speed, higher download time and more client side processing. I list three and say one because they are all caused by the same thing: JS support for every feature the theme has.
This can't be eliminated (without removing features from framework), only partially mitigated, but in my experience it often isn't even mitigated.

Hi Ezequiel, do not forget of suggesting that we have a separate JavaScript file for every page. For example, Bootstrap and Bootstrap offers separate SCSS files and separate JavaScript files and we compile only selected SCSS files.
As I do not want to use JavaScript files and codes for optimising the site and keeping it faster to load, I remove some SCSS files which require to use JavaScript from bootstrap.scss and materialize.scss.
I use another programming language to reutilise automatically and unify three files – metadata and scripting, heading and footer, on each page for resynchronising the CSS files and JavaScript files, and after put a separate CSS files after heading, and put a separate JavaScript file before footer which is before </body>.

I am facing issues to login phpMyadmin... i tried user as 'root' and left the passwrd blank ....

I have used WAPPPRESS for a number of my clients at US and there is no complaint at all. Its probably the easiest, most affordable and best way on internet to convert a wordpress site into a mobile app almost instantly in hardly about a minute. It has native app features like Push notifications and Admob.
I highly recommend this plugin for all those who need an android or iOS mobile app instantly without spending huge amount of money. Its cost is just $19.

Wordpress Developer

I stopped chasing languages and toolkits 25 years ago and you know what is funny? Authoring a decent web app has grown so convoluted and unnecessarily verbose and sadly convoluted that I feel as if I'm coding on IBM's AIX with the X11/Motif window manager libraries in C. In fact, I may argue that X11/Motif in C is easier coding up an application with nodeJS, sass, partials, mixins, gulp, npm, HTML5, and bower. Not to mention the debugging environment.
Find a language and toolkit with a steady upwards curve that is starting to appear in job reqs, then learn the shit out of it. Put on blinders, do not look at shiny things or the fact that cool kids jump languages/frameworks every year or two yet develop nothing, and keep plugging away. In 2 to 3 years you'll make the big bucks.
Repeat that cycle every 7-10 years and you'll be in good shape.

Never heard of this free SSL certificate ...I know there are web hosting sites which charge some money although few gave this free if you buy hosting and domain from them. All in All a good post ti gain knowledge. Thank you!

The default page template in Wordpress is originally designed for a blog. A lot of the pluggable themes and plugins try to work with that default page template. The system would be better designed and organized if their were a named hierarchy of different templates and indications for which themes and which plugins are tested with which alternative page templates.

24% is huge!
Enough to make it practically useless if you build a site for regular people.
Especially if you need it to work on phones and tablets, where most seem to be stuck with crap-browsers.
And also, exactly how ugly does it fail on older browsers?

Notice: Undefined variable:
I literally copied and rendered it as per instructions above but to no avail, here is what the error is:-
if (mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from))
I had to isset a couple of lines of code otherwise it was coming back as Undefined but can't figure this particular error?

I can recommend uCalc plugin https://ucalc.pro/en for making great lead forms. I have already installed lead forms I created there to all my websites. A number of orders from clients increased right away.
